The hapless Wang Xunpress did not escape in the end, and he was coerced by a group of high-ranking officials to go to Zhaoqing to meet the current supreme military and political governor of Guangdong.

But soon I met halfway.

Chen Bangzhan, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, and a native of Gao'an, Jiangxi, also rushed to Guangzhou after getting the news, but he went down the river, much faster than the big men who went upstream, and after the convergence, a group of people returned to Guangzhou together in the evening of the same day, and at this time, more officials near Guangzhou, especially the wealthy families, also got the news and gathered in the political envoy department......

The latter is even more afraid!

That traitor has destroyed countless people wherever he goes.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the cries of the Liaoyang gentry immediately surrounded the heads of the gentry of Guangzhou.

How they discussed countermeasures was none of Yang Xin's business, and at this time, Yang Dudu was looking at the floating garbage in front of him at the dock.

It can only be described as garbage.

Like props in the water world, wrecked ships made from all kinds of materials they can find are crowded on the docks during the drive of the battleship, all of which are rotten colors, even the inhabitants of the ships. Most of them, including women, were unclothed, and they trembled out of this garbage that belonged to them as they were driven away by the sound of artillery from time to time in the back......

"What's the matter with this grass and flowers?"

Yang Xin asked.

Many of these dilapidated boats have a pot of flowers or grass on the bow.

If it is said that the flowers are because they are very interesting in life, but the potted grass is obviously wrong.

"Back to the governor, the grass is a man who is not married, and the flowers are a woman who is not married, and when others see it at the bow of the boat, they sing to each other across the boat, and when they get closer, they will directly grab it."

Li Yuan said.

"Uh, put a pot of grass on the table for me, too!"

Yang Dudu said eagerly.

Then the loyal soldier hurriedly placed a pot of grass at his feet.

The Tanmin who was driven ashore on the opposite side looked at him blankly, and many tanned girls looked shyly.

"What shall I say?"

Yang Xin asked Li Yuan.

"What does the Governor want them to do?"

Li Yuan said cautiously.

"I see them pitiful, and I am ready to reward them with a good life, and the governor of Pontus has been ordered to be the governor of the coastal affairs, but these people are easily lured by pirates on the coast......"

Yang Xin said.

"If you go back to the governor, you don't need to be tempted, they are always thieves."

Li Yuan said.

Later, Yang Huan kicked him directly, and he realized that he had interrupted Du Dudu's words, and he was so frightened that he quickly broke out in a cold sweat to plead guilty, but fortunately, Yang Du Du waved his hand very generously.

That's right, to deal with this kind of people and bandits, we must focus on appeasement.

Why are they thieves?

It's not that they are too poor to eat, and if they are given a way to live, they will not risk their heads.

The Pontus has always been merciful, and he has always been appeased by such people.

Look at these soldiers, some of them were the Wenxiang disciples who followed Xu Hongru to make trouble, and some were shanty people and bandits in the mountains and forests of Jiangxi, and now after being appeased by the governor of Bendu, not only did they live a good life, but also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the country.

Therefore, the governor of Pontus was to persuade and appease these people in the same way. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Well, if you go back to the governor, they all have household registration."

Li Yuan said.

"The Tan people also have household registration?"

Yang Xin was stunned.

"Yes, not only do you have a household registration, the imperial court also collects fish classes, and you have to pay silver every year, the nearest thing here is the river berth in Xiangshan, these Tan people have a Tan nationality, you see that there are words on their boats, where they are berthed, they will follow where they are, twenty boats are one A, there are a chief and a deputy each lead ten boats, the number of people does not matter, but in terms of boats, those words are a certain county boat and a certain captain under someone, this is their Tan nationality."

Li Yuan said.

Only then did Yang Xin notice that there were really black letters on these garbage.

This is indeed a bit unexpected by him, originally he had the impression that the Tan people were unregistered, just like the shanty people who belonged to the sea, but it was obvious that this was not the case, this is the same as in modern times, their fishing boats were numbered, and this was already the Ming Dynasty's compilation.

"But didn't you say they were thieves all the time?"

He asked.

"There are boats along the coast are often thieves, fishing food and clothing are not as stable as farming, this coastal storm every year, maybe a wind has passed and there is nothing, so it is difficult to make a living, and there is nothing to pay attention to, as long as they can eat, they do everything, left and right are driving boats, no one knows where to go when they go out, and they are still fishermen who rob and come back."

Li Yuan said with a smiling face.

At this time, a middle-aged Tan man was brought over, and on the way he met a few Portuguese, and he saluted each other like an old acquaintance, and it could be seen that there were many acquaintances here.

"Xu Yi, a boat man in Xiangshan County, knocked on the master, I don't know what the master ordered me to come over?"

He said with a smile on his face.

"Hang him!"

Yang Xin said.

The soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward.

Xu Yi was at a loss, because Yang Xin was speaking official words, and he didn't understand the meaning of this.

Li Yuan lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, but Xu Yi was obviously very shrewd, and before those soldiers could get closer, he immediately jumped up from the ground and fell backwards for more than a meter, and at the same time as the two soldiers threw themselves into the air, he suddenly turned around and ran backwards and fled. But the next moment, Yang Xin came to his back, reached out from behind and grabbed his neck, and pressed to the ground with forward inertia, Xu Yi was thrown and screamed, and at the same time, the Tan people on the opposite side were in chaos, and hundreds of young people immediately moved forward.

But then it stopped.

Because a hundred muskets were aimed at them on the opposite side.

"Do you know why I killed you?"

Yang Xin said in a family dialect.

"Small, small don't know!"

Xu Yi, who was lifted into the air by him, struggled and said.

"Because I don't need anything like you."

Yang Xin said.

Immediately after two soldiers stepped forward, Yang Xin threw Xu Yi at them.

"The governor is aware of everything, this thief is the lord of the people of Xiangshan, colluding with pirates to smuggle, rob, and even sell people, these years often kidnap our good people and sell them to pirates, it is said that they are sold to the South Seas to the red-haired people as slaves."

Li Yuan said.

Yang Xin glanced at him with a smile.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

"Dudu, the little one should be damned, the little cowardly one is afraid of death and doesn't dare to take care of it, and it's not just him who does this kind of thing......"

He shut up.

This is not surprising, in fact, the pirates on the southeast coast are doing this, especially the Dutch in Java to build the city of Batavia, the local natives are unusable, so they rely on the Chinese to be responsible for the construction, but the Ming people go to the South Seas in addition to pirates or smugglers, these people will indeed recruit workers for the Dutch, but the number of recruits is not enough so they can only kidnap. Moreover, this kind of coastal kidnapping slave trade lasted for two hundred years from the end of the Ming Dynasty until the end of the Qing Dynasty, because there was no need for kidnapping at that time, it was directly legalized, and it was impossible to do this without collaborators on the shore.

However, Yang Xin hanged Xu Yi not because of this.

But because he doesn't need this, he wants to co-opt these Tan people, of course, he will not keep their leaders, and since the Tan people have been organized, then this gentry-like role must also exist.

Of course, they were not the same as the gentry.

But since smuggling is rampant in this place, and the Tan people live on boats, such a person can only be the leader of the smuggling gang.

What do such people keep for?

His goal is to destroy the smuggling system in this area, these large and small smuggling groups, all of them must be cleaned up to the maximum, ordinary people can stay, these leaders can't, clean them up and then reorganize the people in his way, appoint people loyal to him to establish a management system. Give them land to live in, give them new fishing boats, set up an aquatic processing industry like in the north, and use these Tan people, who are familiar with the local situation, to deal with the smuggling rings controlled by the local gentry.

This is his coastal militia.

But first they had to destroy their old organizational system.

"You, take two battalions to Xiangshan, arrest all the remaining Tan people, regardless of men, women and children, if you dare to resist, you will be killed and killed, like Xu Yi, who will be directly beheaded on the spot, and I will let you hang the second noose if you run one."

Yang Xin said to Li Yuan.

"The small ones will go, and the small ones will not be missed!"

Li Yuan said wiping a cold sweat.

Next to him, Yang Huan beckoned to the two officers, and they quickly gathered their subordinates and followed Li Yuan.

"As for you, do you hate me?"

Yang Xin said to the remaining Tan people.

Those young men didn't speak, but they looked at him with hatred, including the shy girls who had turned into angry wild cats.

The Tanmin women are also very combative.

History records that even women can jump and fight.

"I give you a chance to take revenge, give each of you a knife, you can come and kill me, but the runaways shoot me indiscriminately, as long as you only attack me, these soldiers will not move."

Yang Xin said.

The young men looked at each other.

At the same time, Yang Xin commanded, and those soldiers immediately pulled out their sabers, and then threw them directly at the feet of those young people, who looked at each other, but the wildness of these guys was still there after all, and then a guy who looked strongest picked up a knife, and he took the lead and the others no longer hesitated, and hundreds of young people quickly picked up their knives......

"Come on, let me see what you're up to."

Yang Xin pretended to be indifferent, and stood there with his hands behind his back and said.

The one who picked up the knife first looked at his companions on the left and right, and then rushed forward with a roar, and his companions on both sides immediately followed, looking like a pack of mad dogs.

The leader came to Yang Xin in a blink of an eye, and the knife in his hand was cut off on the head, but at the moment when the knife fell, Yang Xin, who was originally motionless on the opposite side, suddenly jumped out, and almost at the same time, a big hand was pasted on his face, pressing his head and pushing back obliquely. The guy screamed and immediately fell backwards, but because his legs were still moving forward, the whole person even flipped up, and then smashed on the ground on his back, and instantly fell unconscious with the dull impact of the fall.

And at this time, Yang Xin had already started his performance......
